I am getting Botox injections for the first time

Question:

I am getting Botox injections for the first time.  I want to ease the frown lines on my forehead.  Should I wash my face with any special soap beforehand such as antibacterial soap?

Answer:

There is no special pre-Botox or pre-injection treatment for the frown lines on the forehead before having a Botox injection.  Following your regular course of face cleaning in the morning should be satisfactory.  It does not make sense to do anything out of the ordinary like extra exfoliation or extra moisturizing or anything else directly before the treatment.  Simply ensure that your face and your forehead is clean before the treatment and the doctor will take care of everything else.
